Experience fun, hassle-free accessible holidays and trips

Are you planning an accessible holiday or day trip but aren’t sure how to travel to your destination?

Hiring one of our medically adapted Jumbulances makes accessible travel possible for people with disabilities and other serious illnesses. It’s a perfect option for groups with special travel requirements.

Our Jumbulances are in excellent condition and well maintained by our skilled and experienced drivers. All our coaches are wheelchair friendly and fully equipped with essential features such as trolleybeds, defibrillators and oxygen meaning disabled and severely ill passengers can travel comfortably and safely across the UK and Europe.
 

Travelling can be difficult if you require additional support, or if you care for someone who does. As a charity with decades of experience, our aim is to ensure that travel is available and accessible for everyone, because we all deserve a break from time to time.

 

Hiring a Jumbulance means you can travel comfortably as a group without the stress of public transport such as inaccessible and ablist aeroplanes or trains (although our ultimate aim is that all transport becomes fully accessible!). Jumbulances are perfect for groups with varied requirements because our coaches are equipped for a wide range abilities, impairments – whilst remaining full of comfort and fun.

England

Blackpool is a great destination for groups wanting to have fun and see the famous lights.

There are a variety of day trips from Blackpool which mean that the week quickly passes.  Those who just want a long weekend will find plenty in Blackpool itself.

ENGLAND

London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city.

England

Norfolk is a great destination for Jumbulance groups, with trips to the coast, to the great estates of Sandringham and Holkham, and to the Broads all great for getting outdoors.

Walsingham, Norwich Castle and Cathedral all make interesting places to visit as well.

EUROPEAN DESTINATIONS

Europe continues to be a favourite place for our groups to visit and, with the memories of Covid-19 beginning to fade, our groups have been going back to Lourdes, to Paris, to Austria and to Holland.  Future trips back to Brittany, to Belgium and Denmark and to Ireland are also being explored for this year.

If you are interested in what trips are coming up in 2024 and 2025 please contact us.

FRANCE

Lourdes is a town in southwestern France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains. It’s known for the Sanctuaires Notre-Dame de Lourdes, a major Catholic pilgrimage site. Each year, millions visit the Grotto of Massabielle (Grotto of the Apparitions) where, in 1858, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a local woman. In the grotto, pilgrims can drink or wash their face and hands in water flowing from a spring.

France

Disneyland Paris is just a short trip down the motorway from Calais and is a favourite destination of Jumbulance groups of all ages, but especially children.

Travel over for a two or three night stay in Disneyland Paris Hotel and have a fantastic time visiting Disney Village, Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park.

With Jumbulance you can travel door to door.

AUSTRIA

Niederau – Wildschonau is a small, traditional Austrian ski resort with a small network of pistes. The pistes of Niederau are well suited for beginners and early intermediates.
